5 Ways To Eradicate Behavior That’s Killing Your Spirit

spirit

In this world of ups and downs and highs and lows, how often have you stopped feeling good about yourself?  Do you ever think everyone is doing better than you?

And some mornings you might even find yourself wondering why you should bother getting up!  Sigh!

You know doing something will make you feel better, but you just don’t know what that is.  And before too long you find yourself in a downward spiral; you don’t know how to get back on track and it’s killing your spirit.

It doesn’t matter if it’s your business success, financial success, or relationship success, once that spiral of negativity and despondency begins so does the negative, critical voice in your head that just won’t shut up.  

It makes it nigh impossible to step into the mindset that keeps you UP when life is bringing you DOWN.

And worse, any self-esteem you had begins to swirl its way down the drain of despair.

So what should you do?  You can’t simply sit there pondering the unfairness of life while your doubts and fears continue to wreak havoc. Instead, let’s eradicate the behavior that’s responsible for killing your spirit.

The biggest hurdle

You want to live in such a way that you get whatever it is you truly need. Right?

Yet, a huge part of your life is spent imagining the worst that can happen and the consequences that lead to more misery and less success in the areas that are important to you.

It’s time you stepped back from your fears and worries, and realize that one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is not what you fear but the very fact that you are afraid. 

Being afraid leads you to take actions that you would never take were you occupying a mindset of confidence and the expectancy of something great happening.

Sometimes you just have to feel scared and take action anyway.  It’ll either work or it won’t.  That’s how you grow.

Forget justification

You are a force to be reckoned with and you don’t deserve to allow your setbacks, regrets or mistakes to punish you forever.

Give yourself a break and remember that one of the challenges of pursuing the life that you want is that there is simply no competition.

Your life will never get better because somebody else failed. Nor will it get worse because somebody else succeeded.

It’s critical for your long term happiness that you see contentment and success only in personal terms.

The choices you make today will guide you towards your future. Don’t fear judgement from others.  There’s no need to justify yourself…you will be living with the future you create.  It’s up to them to create their own.

Switch your manufacturing unit

Everyone has a fantastic manufacturing unit, chugging along merrily…well not always merrily…sometimes it’s chugging along miserably. It’s this manufacturing unit that we use to create suffering in our life.

It’s called a mind!

And the biggest problem is that when it has no direction from you, it changes directions every moment.

Imagine if you walked somewhere and kept changing your direction every couple of steps, the chances of you getting to where you wanted to go would be…well remote…unless it happened accidentally. And living life accidentally with all that entails makes no sense when you can live it on purpose.

Keep these points in mind

You want to eradicate the behavior that kills your spirit, don’t you?

So:

1. Be conscious of what you’re thinking. Your future is being created with the thoughts you’re thinking right now.

2. Change your reactions to any current experiences that aren’t going your way. If you’re struggling with money, or career or within a relationship; if you’re sick or looking for a job or a lasting love, don’t waste your time fighting against anything, or feeling sorry for yourself.

Instead:

3. Set up a daily ‘inner creating’ time, free from the usual demands and distractions of life. This is where you begin to switch your manufacturing unit away from misery and towards gladness.  This is the place where you fan the inner sparks of possibility into the full blown fires of success.

4. Wait for it to happen. You might doubt that anything is changing. You may feel discouraged and you can be sure your old mindset will try to fool you by insisting nothing will happen.

Don’t listen.

Reality is a process, a continuous happening, always changing. And your newly created thoughts and ideas, if persisted in, will become your new reality.

Your life will change naturally, you will change naturally, so relax and enjoy your creating time.

Beautify your inner world and you’ll stop killing your spirit

Do your best to beautify the words you speak to yourself, and fill your inner world with light, love and joyfulness. And as you elevate your inner game you are creating a firm connection of heart, mind and spirit in your world.

And don’t allow anyone or anything to rob you of your inner joy. Be your own best friend, be true to yourself and your desires.

You’ll discover life will respond in kind.  It’s what it does!

You’ve got this!

Encourage one another.
